- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Sopor, ien jier lynIt seems that every Download status bar extension is out-of-date. Sad that they all are broken in different ways. 😥
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Iantuition, ien jier lynNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch rado84, 2 jierren lynDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch BMC, 6 jierren lynIt doesn't open the file. It opens a windows that has a link to open the file. That stupid hack window also randomly disappears.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Atherworld, 7 jierren lynDoes nothing. No status bsr is created for downloads on Firefox 66.0.3

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14314633, 8 jierren lynCan't launch or open anything from status bar
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13586117, 8 jierren lynSo close to the original DSB ??? Must be a joke.
The 'autohide after download' function does not stay, even the defaulted 'autohide of everything when not specified' doesn't work.
The downloads are by default routed to to the download folder, without any possibility to get the usual "last selected location" behaviour.
Colors for the very obtrusive bars are not selectable.
And this is called by some trolls here as "so close" ?
Got rid of this add-on. Don't let yourself be fooled. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13699676, 8 jierren lynIt needs to "access my data for all websites"? No thanks....

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13547740, 8 jierren lynWhy this addon requesting access to my personal data for all sites? https://prntscr.com/hvlsf3
I don't think it's good idea. Installation process was cancelled by me. Sorry.
PS. There's no replies chain so just had to add.
If you used already built-in downloads for visualisation in status bar, your addon don't need to access my data then.
If you didn't used built-in downloads it means you used bad practice. Your addon will use more PC's resources and slow down Firefox.
Also users don't trust addons that request access to data because data may content personal information, logins/passwords, credit cards info, etc.

8 jierren lyn pleatstYou seem to not understand how web extensions work. The old download status bar addon didn't ask for any permissions because legacy addons didn't have a permission system.
There is no way to show a status bar currently without injecting HTML into each page, which means the addon needs access to every website you visit.
Once Mozilla adds an API that allows creating real status bars then it will not need access to all pages, but that could be months away if not longer. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13614700, 8 jierren lynPoor copy of old and vastly superior Download Statusbar.
It has no bonus options of old one, no popup info when hovering pointer over file that downloads, if downloaded file has long name, you have to open containing folder to see it fully (not useful when downloading lots of similarly named files).
It cover sizeable chunk of screen (compared to just enough from old one), and Divines help you if you did not click on "keep it in one row" option...
Since sadly old one was not updated anymore, apparently creator of this one tried to cash in on users which could not go without old one.
PS: I see dev got butthurt by being called out on his poor copy. Made my day.
Wanna good review? Make something useful.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
8 jierren lyn pleatstThe old extensions are dead and aren't coming back.
If the tooltips or something aren't working for you create an issue on GitHub instead of acting like an entitled douchebag.
If you don't like this extension feel free to make a better one, it seems so far I'm the only person to put any effort into creating a replacement. I made this because there was no existing replacement and I wanted one, not to "cash in", since I'm not getting paid for it anyways.
